This the follow-up episode to Episode 76: Original Themes, and in this episode, we explore the licensing wars in the early 90s through the lens of Joe Kaminkow at Data East pinball and their shift from original themes to only making licensed games. We talk about how Williams and Gottlieb follow suit and compare sales strategies amongst the companies.
Then we end up discussing the major shift in pinball buyers from operators to home collectors, and how that has forever shifted the landscape moving forward.
As always, we swear on the show. Sensitive ears be warned.
